Oh thank god, I totally thought it was directed at me, the reader.

Oh good then, me taking the time to save your poor, fragile, self image, that's probably wrong anyways, was well worth it.

Re: FFR Hacked again... Yes again... 2019

he has produced reasonable complaints but has been behaving in a negative, condescending way towards site admin that arent at fault

hence the dunking

Yeah this is pretty much the issue. I mean, he contacted me privately, I gave him very clear and truthful answers about the issues at hand, and he decided to cherry pick some portions of the messages as "excuses" we were giving to just not fix things he was sure were trivial to fix.

There's ways to handle this kind of thing. And I think one thing people should think about when leveling criticism or offering random solutions to the problem, is that a bunch of us have been here for a very long time. I was here when Synth was actually active. I've been in skype calls with him. I've been here through what, four now? instances of him coming back, promising to be active and then vanishing again?

There's nothing you're going to suggest to "fix the site" that hasn't come up in our staff discussions at least a half dozen times, both from the internal "What can we do on the backend" front and the external "Could we actually just hijack the website" front.

And not just random suggestions that we could do stuff like that, serious discussions involving conversations with lawyers, analysis of potential server costs in multiple countries, methods of addressing music rights issues. This is not something we're just NOT thinking about.

Re: FFR Hacked again... Yes again... 2019

Just in case this needs to be said, that shit's just auto-grabed from a list of emails and passes and mass spammed out, just change your pass and ignore it. They won't reply if you send them anything. You'd think this would be obvious but they make tons of money.

I was tracking the e-mails since yesterday and they were all $800 yesterday. Must have changed it. Money hungry lmao.

...mandatory password changes...

Edit: This time it's even more information too... Certainly personally identifiable information like age and locations.

I'm not even going to read this thread, but just to point out a few things:

Mandatory password changes, are, on top of technical limitations, annoying. My password was not compromised in either breach nor would it be at significant risk if it was (it's dictionary resistant), so I haven't changed my password.

Personally identifiable information is usually given up freely here, with the exception of age.

Okay that is all bye.

also mandatory password resets cause some people who don't have access to the email they signed up with to lose access to their account entirely

This happened to me on my anime list, and I'm unable to get my account back. the thing is I literally couldn't give less of a shit if someone knew my password to MY ANIME LIST, but their complete overreaction to the situation caused me to lose access to my account permanently. They won't let me recover it

Re: FFR Hacked again... Yes again... 2019

this thread seems like it wants this article or one like it now

https://features.propublica.org/ransomware/ransomware-attack-data-recovery-firms-paying-hackers/

e: to be clear that mass email reads pretty fake, and almost is shameful next to some of the ransomers mentioned here

Re: FFR Hacked again... Yes again... 2019

The e-mail is fake. Almost all TWG players at this point know that I have no microphone, and no camera to record myself.

Oh good to know - that makes way more sense lmao

Was still entertaining to feel individually targeted and amping up for cyber kombat.

wow tough crowd

i for one appreciate being told about potential data breaches so that i can wilfully neglect them as per usual
